[dba-Tech] new email attack vector

[Gustav Brock]

Hi John

Not that I know of. I guess it is regarded that simple, that a guide is not needed.

For home use, it is great, optimised as it is for touch use. For business, I think many will find it too limited.

The only trouble I've had with it, was with import of contacts. It requires a special format CSV file including US English field names which a localised Windows cannot provide. The solution is to create some contacts, export these to CSV, study the exported file, and then modify you list to import to match the exported file format. Then import this file. "Of course", this is not documented anywhere.

Hi Gustav,
I cannot get anyone to use the Windows 8/10 mail app. I have zero clients using it, including home users. Is there a good resource for it on the web somewhere?

Yes, to most normal users, e-mail "is" either GMail or Outlook (in some of its many varieties).

And neither Outlook Express, Windows Mail, nor Windows Live Mail live any more. The current Mail app of Windows 10 is actually quite neat; I use that on my Windows tablets.

I've tried to get some clients off of crap like Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, etc and have them use Pegasus mail but it does not go well. Not "end user" friendly. Kind of an old geek thing I guess.
